Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon...You Help Decide the Structure

I have decided to ask for your assistance in deciding how I should structure the read-a-thon.  As I mentioned in the introduction/sign up post, I want this read-a-thon (and all future read-a-thons) to focus more on the reading.  Lord knows we all have enough distractions in our day to day lives to detract from read-a-thon reading so why should the read-a-thon goings-on be a distraction as well.  So, above the post section, there is a little poll.  Please voice your opinion on this subject....and please be honest.

Thanks!

Announcing the Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon....Sign-Up!

It's coming...to shake up your peaceful spring. ;O)  Yup, it's the Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon, April 23 at 12:00am CST to April 29 at 11:59pm CST (adjust times according to your time zone).  Now don't let the word 'horror' scare you away from this read-a-thon.  You do have to read at least one scary book during the duration of the read-a-thon.  That book can be horror, paranormal, thriller, mystery, etc.  The rest of the read-a-thon, you can read whatever you want.  More horror/scary stuff or just your regular reading repertoire.  As always, this is a week long read-a-thon, but you can join in and read whenever it's convenient for you.  It's all about being laid back and getting some reading done...with a little bit of scary thrown in.

I really want to do this read-a-thon a bit differently this time.  Meaning, more focus on the reading and less focus on mini-challenges.  What I'm thinking is possibly some short reading sprints or something along those lines.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to leave me a comment.  I'll also still be looking for prize donations (or anyone who would like to host a giveaway or something), but I'm not going to be seeking them as intensively as previously.  I know many people that joined my previous read-a-thons have expressed a desire to focus more on the reading and I'm thinking I'm of a like mind.  Whatever prize donations I do receive will be awarded in participant giveaways mostly.  So if you know someone who would like to donate a prize, or authors, if you would like to promote your book through the read-a-thon, please contact me at truebookaddictATgmailDOTcom.

You do not have to have a blog. You can sign up using your goodreads, Twitter, or Facebook accounts. We will be tweeting during the read-a-thon at #SpringHorrorRAT

If you are planning on joining me (I hope so), please sign up in the linky below.  You don't have to do a starting post now (unless you want to), but if you would like to help me spread the word, that would be great.  As is usual in my read-a-thons, there will be a starting line post for participants to sign in when they start reading for the read-a-thon, whether they start at the beginning, the middle, or towards the end.

You can grab this smaller button (with code) or, if you'd like a larger button, use the one at the top of this post.

Read-a-Thon News and Mailbox Monday

Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon....
The voting has ended and as you can see above, you voters chose that title.  Pretty cute, I think! Now don't let the word 'horror' dissuade you from participating.  The only 'rule' in that regard will be to read at least one 'scary' book during the read-a-thon.  It does not have to be horror...it can be a thriller, a gothic tale, a mystery, paranormal...just something with a scary element (most mysteries have a murder, right?  That's scary).  I have not set the date in April yet, because strangely, Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon site has not mentioned when their date is (I can't even get the site to come up) and I don't want to interfere with their read-a-thon.  So keep April in mind and I'll be announcing the dates and sign-up details soon.  I will be hosting the read-a-thon here on this blog.  Hope you will join me!
